Trump administration targets 760k Affordable Care Act sign-ups

Original version ·

Turns out the government thinks a massive chunk of your healthcare enrollment might just be ghosts.

The Trump administration just dropped a bombshell, claiming that 760,000 people currently on the Affordable Care Act rolls either committed fraud or straight-up do not exist. Vice President Vance is pitching this as a massive win, arguing that booting these entries will save taxpayers $2.2 billion.

It is one thing to clean up a database, but it is another to declare nearly a million people imaginary. Whether these are identity theft schemes or just bureaucratic glitches, the plan is to wipe them off the books immediately.

It is a bold move to balance the books by telling hundreds of thousands of people they were never really there in the first place.

    Classic government efficiency. Cut first, verify later.
